Good morning, readers! On Wednesday, June 1st, the KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection will launch! Summer for many means time to relax, be it time at the beach, heading to the lake, or back yard adventures. Summer at KBShimmer means time at the beach, with a cool drink in our hands, and good friends by our side, and inspired this collection of tropical colors and scents. I have all 12 new colors to share with you today! Let’s take a look.

KBShimmer Neon Me
Like the summer days of the 80’s, this crelly is jam packed with neon. Small circle glitters in a rainbow of shocking shades pop out against the off white background with a scattering of micro neon glitters.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
How fun is this summer crelly? It will look amazing as an accent nail paired with many of these other summer shades from the collection.

KBShimmer Don’t Play Koi
The softer side of summer, this muted white crelly has accents of coral, aqua and grey hex glitters.

KBShimmer How Low Can You Flamingo?
A steaming hot pink, this near neon shade will make you wish it was summer all year long.
I’m showing two coats below with top coat.
HELLO!? This is the best hot pink ever. I don’t even typically like pink, and this is EVERYTHING. The best part is that it dries shiny and not the typical matte neon finish, so I have high hopes for wear time. (Matte finish neons last about one day on me.) I cannot wait to change my pedi color to this for basically the whole summer.KBShimmer How Low Can You Flamingo? 1 KBShimmer How Low Can You Flamingo? 2 KBShimmer How Low Can You Flamingo? 3

KBShimmer Good Reef!
That perfect summer, accent your tan color, Good Reef! is a stunning light peachy coral color with blue shimmer that pops in certain lights.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat. I am loving this shimmer color combo with this peach base.KBShimmer Good Reef! 1 KBShimmer Good Reef! 2 KBShimmer Good Reef! 3

KBShimmer Mai Tai One On
A lemonade yellow, this shimmery color has glints of yellow gold and soft green.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
I had issues with streakiness/lighter patches with this shade, but the shimmer mostly hid that in person.KBShimmer Mai Tai One On 1 KBShimmer Mai Tai One On 2 KBShimmer Mai Tai One On 3

KBShimmer Ready For A Good Lime
A soft, lime green cream.
I’m showing two coats below with top coat.

KBShimmer Playing With The Buoys
A soft, green mint with blue undertones.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
I cannot get enough of these cremes and this is a great, soft water color.KBShimmer Playing With the Buoys 1 KBShimmer Playing With the Buoys 2 KBShimmer Playing With the Buoys 3

This periwinkle blue color pops with shimmery pink and violet micro flakes, for a unique summer shade to make your pedicure pop!
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
Definitely a great pedi color!2 KBShimmer Suit the Breeze 1 KBShimmer Suit the Breeze 3

KBShimmer Along For the Tide

KBShimmer That’s Nude to Me

Also, for the summer release, KBShimmer announces a new scent for hand care products:

I have the Mani Shot and cannot wait to use it because it smells amazing!

    Those are gorgeous! I really need to save some money but, oh my, pastels, some with the added bonus of shimmer! Just show me a pastel and I am weak at the knees. Ugh, KBShimmer, why you do this to me!!!
